  • No apparently you don’t need to replace it, if you do it just starts it as root. I can start xfce4 with startxfce4 as user but i can’t start sddm as user from console, only as root. I did try changing it to x11-(username) and just (username) it was the same as just doing x11 or not having the file, although I could also have done something wrong there.

    At this point just changing the dm might be easier tbh. Although idk if that woulf actually work. I believe it starts x with the sddm user and not your actual user because, well, you’re not logged in




  • Eh, I mean I did look at some tutorial but also some forums and at the archwiki for xorg, Idk if I looked at the one for sddm but it doesn’t say anything different from what I saw, I kinda looked into the gentoo wiki for rootless xorg too or whatever but that didn’t help much.

    I am not expecting you to 100% know everything and help it’s like well maybe someone might know what’s wrong. idk.















  • I don’t want it to run a .desktop file. A .desktop file is just like a shortcut, you would probably run the game through lutris with a .desktop file and not the .desktop file through lutris.

    My problem was that AmongUs uses a file called AmongUsHelper.exe to log in. Once it opens itch.io in your browser and you allow it, it asks you to open an “amongus” link, In windows it does it with “AmongUsHelper” that’s why I am guessing it uses AmongUsHelper.exe. ‘Among us.exe’ works fine.

    The problem with running lutris through .desktop files when you need the browser tho is that the app just opens normally instead of like it holding any info from the website or something and idk how to make it do that.
